As we highlighted in the Top 25 list you will notice 6 players with the last name ‘Corliss’. That equates to 24% of the Top 25. With so many players with the same last name who finished among the top 25 it doesn’t bode well in considering these events legitimate. One must question as to whether all 6 of these Corliss’s are different players or are they all the same player?

Obviously scripts were used by ALL those who finished in the Top 25. These types of events have succeeded at nothing more than promoting the use of scripts and cheating. The players who do finish at the top of these types of events are rewarded for their cheating efforts and do NOT even deserve bragging rights.

Many players don’t even bother trying in these types of events because we know we can’t compete and Zynga continues to widen the gap in the playing field by rewarding these players more and more.

The DAU has not seen 200,000 since November 15, 2013. That’s more than 2 months ago. Need we ask why? These types of events and the use of scripts along with Zynga’s relentless pushes for purchases of RP are culminating the demise of this once reward winning game. Zynga needs to give ALL players a reason to continue playing Mafia Wars. They might find that if they did Zynga might actually generate a positive in revenue and NOT another decline. JMO.
